Mr.. III. Il. Mcdonald, of Louisville, an
architect Of standing, Is in the city, and is
submitting plans for the improvement Of
cotton-sheds. Mr.. Mcdonald has patented
a house something which, at the date of
his application. had never been done in the
patent Office. As nearly 81 10000 worth
OF cotton has been dAtroyed in Memphis
within one week, the question of improy-
ing cotton sheds Is very pertinent. The
cotton sheds OF Memphis are rs well ap-
pointed ~ those In any other city, and
there is no more danger Of the destruction

Indeed, the sheds OF Memphis, ~ also
the methods Of handling cotton, are not
surpassed by Those oi amy other city, and
ARE far superior 20 those OF most markets.

ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
THE ORACLES OF THE OAK.

THE following poem was suggested by
lecture OF the late Henry Ward Beecher II
which he made the spirited remark that IL Il
glorious 70 live in an age like this and dwell Ia
a land like ours.
IT'S glorious TO live in an age like this,
And dwell In q land like ours
Where ripen the seeds
or the loveliest deeds
And the fairest OF human flowers.
'Tis glorious TO feel in our Utmost soul
The wine OF higher life,
Though IL bubble up
To the hearts deep cup
Through agony, toll and strife.
The flowers that bloom in the month 90 June
Are beautiful things TO see;
But the noble forms
That endure the storms
Are dearer than those TO me.
The lily may smile and the rose may blush,
And the violet cheer our way,
But the oracles spoke
BY the stately oak
Seem loftier lore than they.
They tell of years that have glidedby
Since IL lay in the acorn's shell,
tiny thing
That the elves OF spring
Tended and guarded well.
They tell OF seasons OF light and love
When birds in its branches sung
or summers brief,
When every leaf
Was a musical lisping tongue.
They sing of surly November's blasts
When the Angel OF Death swept by;
or its venal pride
That in beauty died
In the gloom OF a wintry sky.
In crimson and gold each leaf went down
To its grave on the forest floor;
But the stately oak
Stood firm and spoke
To the winds with an answering roar;
Saying TO them in kingly voice:
I'VE may rob me OF beauty's crown;
But in the path
Ofyour awful wrath
i fling my gauntlet down.
az welcome the winds and the wintry storms
gather strength from each,
And the lay sing
AS wait for spring,
A lesson to men they teach"
The lily may smile and the rose may blush,
And the violet cheer our way.
But the oracles spoke
BY the stately oak
Have loftier lore than they.
oh, would it might reach to the hearts Of men,
And bid them be strong and true
To the brotherhood
or the brave and good
Till right shall the wrong subduel
Would they might feel in this fearful hour
The trust that sustains and warns,
That gives TO the soul
calm control
When nations arc racked with stormsl
All then they would stand like the stately oak
Defying the storm-kngs wrath,
And through the night
To the beautiful light
Hew for themselves path.
Then they would sing: "'Ts a glorious thing
To live in land like ours,
Who're fearful needs
Make valiant deeds
And quicken the spirit powers"
With the bards they'd sing: "'Tis q blessed
thing
To dream of the ages past;
More blessed still
TO feel the thrill
or the age that is ebbing fast.

ly. They'd just like to have 1t them
selves next Saturday, when we play
the Newton boys"
Still, Kittie had an uncomfortable
sense of being different from other
children; so she waited until she saw
her father coming up the lawn, and
ran to meet him. He took her in his
arms. and she buried her little head
under his ear and whispered:
Father, Jack Creamer's father says
l am ambidexter Now speak very
low. Twill outgrow it, won't IP I've
heard you say, father, that l would

"Kittic, ducky, that's just one of the

"Then it is not disagreeable. Oh, /

is so funny to have something and not
know what it is"
1T only means that you have two
right hands instead OF one."
"Kitty looked at her hands curious
ly. 1.-THE thumbs are all right, father. I"
Her father laughed.
"Ambi-dexter is made up of two
Latin words; dexter means the right
hand, and ambi means both So the
two words ambi-dexter, both right
hands, are applied to those people who
can use their left hands as well as their
right"
~ can do that" said Kittie, flourish
ing them both above her fathers head,
"but never supposed it was Latin"
'I'll tell you, Kittie, what pleases
me best is that it has come about
through your very strong but some
what peculiar sense of Justice"
Kittie did not give much heed to this
She was now in hurry to see Eugenius
Moreton and tell him it was Latin to use
ones left hand as we'll as the right,
and she was Latin because she could
| do il.
Eugenius In turn could hardly wait
until he told the rest of the boys. 1t
was some time before the whole matter
stood in its proper light; and although
the Ambi-dexter Club is now a
thoroughly established organization,
the boys have scarcely yet recovered
from the impression that Kittie is in
some mysterious way connected with
Romulus and Remus. so great was the
first sensation when the news was
passed around by the eloquent and inn
aginative Eugenius Moreton.-Mary
